MOVING?? MCDVI G WI-IERE?? RIGHT ALC . . . Where do we put all this new furniture? In the new building is where! During the long, cold winter days, lwithout heatl or the smolder- ing heat fwithout air conditioningl, everyone dreamed of having a new school. The day we actually moved in was a day of mixed emotions. Thrillin because after watching the buildin go up, brick by brick, board by board, we were really moving in! 3, because after all the years the big old building had opened it's doors to countless num- bers of kids, it was closing it's Not only the Seniors unloaded the furniture so did Mr. Jones, the high school principal. 4 OPENING doors to us for the last time. Although we will miss the old building, the new luxuries we ac- quired compensate for the loss. For exam le, the tones fbellsj scared us all3 to death the first time we heard them. And we all nearly tripped when we walked across the carpet for the first time. Miss Rounsaville's new L-shaped desks and the new Cannon type- writers were a welcomed adjust- ment for all the typing students. Moving where? Right along is where! Where do we put all this new furniture? We put it in OUR new building! Help! this was a commonly heard phrase when the Seniors unloaded the new furni- ture for the new school.
